"What do you mean she's awake? How?" Harry asked frantically.

"She just woke up, she wants to see you and your sister" the doctor spoke smoothly and proffesionally.

"We'll be right over" Harry promised. He hung up and kissed my lips once before getting off and getting ready. I did the same but instead of jeans I wore sweatpants. I have an awkward...thing in my pants that wont help if I wear skinny jeans. I threw on my hoodie and trainers as well. Harry phoned a taxi and it quickly came. I couldn't help but think of 20 minutes ago. If that phone call never happened? What would have happened? Would we have done it? Would he really do that? I don't know.

"Lou why aren't you speaking?" Harry asked.

"Just thinking" I told him simply. He took my hand and looked me in the eyes.

"I'm so sorry about earlier baby, I just...I cant not go, especially if she just woke up and wants to see me" Harry kissed my lips quickly and I melted.

"Obviously I understand. If the situation was the other way round I would've dragged you because I wouldn't miss our so it doesn't matter" I promised. He smiled and kissed me again. We arrived quickly at the hospital and handed the money over before running in.

"Hi, we're here for Anne Styles" Harry spoke quickly to the receptionist.

"Name please?" she asked, obviously bored.

"Harry Styles" he told her quickly. She pressed a button to let us through and we made our way to the usual room, faster than before. We got to the door and Harry took a deep breath before walking in. I followed behind and we saw Anne sitting up in her bed. Her face was awfully ghost like, pale white skin, hair tied back in a messy way, lips dried, eyes with no life to them. She looked completely different.

"Mum?" Harry choked out and Anne looked up. Her eyes watered when she saw her sun and she waved him over. He slowly walked to the bedside and wrapped her tightly in a hug. She looked as though she was struggling but eventually wrapped her arms around her only son.

"Mum I missed you so much" Harry cried. She stroked his hair soothingly whilst he cried into her shoulder. It hurt to see how weak he looked. "Can you speak?" he asked her. She nodded and croaked out a few words.

"Just a little. Harry I love you" she managed to say and I saw him smile brightly as he played with the strands of her hair.

"Mum?" someone asked as they ran through. We all turned to see Gemma with tears in her eyes. She ran straight over to her mum and hugged her tight.

"Gemma I love you" Anne croaked. Gemma cried of happiness and they all had a family hug. I quietly stepped out the room to let them have some family time. I really need a hot drink. I got to the hospital cafeteria and walked over to the small order desk.

"Hi gorgeous, what can I get you?". I looked up to meet a boy about my age. He winked but I ignored him. He wasn't ugly, his pale pink lips and bright blue eyes would make any girl swoon but not me. Nope, I'm happy with Harry.

"Just a hot chocolate" I replied simply. He nodded and I handed him my £2.50. He put it through and handed me my coffee cup. I took it but noticed a piece of paper attached. I looked back confused and he just winked. Okay then? I found a spare table and sat at it, looking at the paper.

Hey gorgeous, call me? 07*******

I rolled my eyes and went to take a sip but noticed something on the side of the cup as well.

To the most gorgeous man I've ever met x

I ignored it and sipped my chocolate. I definitely need sugar for this.

"Hey Lou" Harry smiled and kissed my cheek. He sat across from me and eventually Gemma joined him.

"Uh hey guys, I'll be right back. I need to go get some sugar" I told them and ran over to the desk again.

"Hi gorgeous, missed me?" the guy asked again.

"Uhm hi, I just need sugar" I told him.

"Something sweet for your treat. I know something that is also really sweet. I'd love to taste it" he lowered his voice at the last bit and I gulped. He licked his bottom lip and I felt like gagging.

"Oh there you are Lou, I've been looking for you. How are you babe?". I turned round to be met with Harry landing his lips on mine. I kissed him back quickly as he wrapped his arms tightly round me.

"I just...I needed....sugar" I panted out as he pulled away.

"Aww but you're sweet enough" he smiled and pecked my lips. I smiled and forgot where we were for a second.

"Oh hi I'm Harry" Harry told the desk guy. He looked beyond pissed. HA!

"Josh" he replied simply.

"Well sorry Josh but we must dash, nice meeting you" Harry took the sugar off him and took my hand before walking away with me. We got to the table and I looked at him in confusion as he poured the sugar in my hot chocolate and stirred it as if nothing happened.

"What was that?" I asked.

"Harry found the paper and the writing on your cup and got extremely jealous" Gemma laughed.

"Aww you were jealous? How cute" I smiled and poked his nose. "Don't worry I don't want anyone else" I assured him. His face turned light pink and he took a sip out my hot chocolate.

"Why aren't you with your mum?" I asked no one in particular.

"The doctors needed time to assess her privately" Gemma told me. I nodded and took my hot chocolate off Harry, taking a sip of the warm drink.

"Gemma how are you still coping with hotels and stuff? It must be a lot of money" I asked her.

"Yeah it is but I managed to find a small job nearby so whenever I wasn't allowed over I'd work and it would be enough money to pay" Gemma told me. "Where's your mum?"

"Oh shit, I forgot to text her!" I fiddled with my phone in my pocket until I could get it out and then went into my texts.

Hi mum, you probably aren't awake but just so you know that when you wake up. Me and Harry came to visit Anne in the hospital, she's awake now :) We didn't want to wake you so hopefully you get this text before you get worried. Love you x

I put my phone away and continued sipping my drink while we all talked.
